Success Stories
At Cercle Alma, success is measured by the meaningful connections formed between generations. One of our young participants, inspired by a storytelling circle, created an original performance piece based on her grandmother’s life story.

These stories reflect the impact of our programs and the powerful growth that emerges when generations learn and create together.
